Lately, rumours had been popping up that Palm's new Treo 670 would be running Windows Mobile 5 --however, no hard evidence confirming these rumours ever appeared. Until now. This is a major blow to PalmSource. More pictures here. Note that this does not mean the device will ship with Windows Mobile 5 --it just means it can run it.

Whoever thinks that WM programming is easier than PalmOS is retarded. Whenever you want to do ANYTHING useful (eg. obtain a list of installed fonts) under .NET CF 1.0 (no, I'm not arrogant enough to expect people to install massive runtime libraries when there is precious space just because I want to be lazy) you will need to develop them as C++ DLLs under embedded visual tools and have the CF program make use of it.
For Palm, I use OrbForms from OrbWorks (www.orbworks.com) and it requires NO runtimes and is a breeze to develop for.
I'm sick of lazy programmers just reaching for the latest MS tool without any desire to really do PROGRAMMING or anything NEW.
